This is a terrible way to protest and will do nothing but turn people against the movement. There is no excuse for this type of protest and it should not be allowed.
Preaching to the choir really
that’ll show them !
Who do they possibly think they’re convincing by blocking O’Connell bridge? The Irish public are already majority pro Palestine, and all they’re doing is inconveniencing that same public
Absolute gowls. Break out the batons.
All 10 of them? That’s no small feat 😄
ELI5 me how does this solving anything if it takes 3x times more for me to drive home?
The point of civil disobedience isn’t to piss everyone else off. It’s to piss off the ruling class, and to demonstrate that 1. You’re willing to escalate, and 2. That they can’t actually stop everyone if escalation does occur.
Unless you have wide-scale buy-in from everyone, as with a general strike, targeting these at primary infrastructure is idiotic.
There’s loads of legitimate targets to choose from, although I’m not sure what the stance of the mod team and admins are regarding specifics so i’ll leave those to your imagination.
Regardless, it doesn’t need to be violent. A nuisance to the *right people* should be the goal.
When government is controlling the narrative and the media message, protests like this helps reach the ordinary bloke on the street.
Breaking through the government propaganda….
But here’s the ting….
Most Irish people are pro-Palestine and the Palestinian people know we stand with them. I am all for anyone’s right to protest, it is a cornerstone of democracy, I do have to ask, what is the point of this?
